Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Motorized faders provide tactile, hands-on mixing with automatic recall of levels when switching tracks
- Touch-sensitive encoder knobs allow precise adjustment of EQ, panning, and dynamics parameters
- Built-in channel strip LCD displays show track names and status without needing to look at the computer screen
- HDMI output enables a dedicated external monitor for expanded metering and graphical feedback
- USB-C connectivity provides simple single-cable setup with the host computer
👎 Cons
- Exclusively designed for DaVinci Resolve Fairlight, offering no compatibility with other DAWs or mixing software
- 12 faders may be limiting for large-scale projects with many audio tracks, requiring frequent bank switching
- The console is a control surface only and cannot function as a standalone audio mixer or interface
- Requires DaVinci Resolve to be installed and running, adding a software dependency to the hardware investment
- No built-in audio I/O means a separate audio interface is still needed for recording and playback
Frequently Asked Questions
What software is the Fairlight Desktop Console designed to work with?
The Fairlight Desktop Console is purpose-built to work with the Fairlight audio page in DaVinci Resolve, providing hardware control over the software's mixing, EQ, dynamics, and automation features.
How does the console connect to a computer?
The console connects via USB-C, making setup straightforward with a single cable connection to your editing workstation.
What are the motorized faders used for?
The 12 motorized faders automatically move to reflect the current mix state when switching between tracks or recalling settings, providing instant visual and tactile feedback of your audio levels.
Does the console have its own display, or does it require an external monitor?
The console features built-in channel strip LCD displays on each fader for track information. It also includes an HDMI output for connecting an external monitor to display additional graphical feedback and metering.
Can this console be used as a standalone audio mixer?
No, the Fairlight Desktop Console is a control surface, not a standalone mixer. It requires a computer running DaVinci Resolve to function and does not process audio on its own.
